Profile:

A top quality wicketkeeper in his prime, Bruce French spent two tours as understudy to Paul Downton before being given his chance in 1986. That he kept Jack Russell out of the England team for almost two years on wicket-keeping merit alone is a tribute to his glove work, though his batting never developed as it could have done. A remarkably accident prone man, he has missed matches through being bitten by a dog, contracting chicken pox from his daughter, and was once knocked over by a car while on the way to hospital to be treated for concussion, having earlier in the day been hit on the head by a ball thrown by a spectator. Bravely for one so cursed by bad luck, one of his hobbies is mountaineering. Thanks:Peter Kirk
